		<description><![CDATA[14 November, 2017 at 7:59 am post was a roundabout effort to explain my previous statement. What I can add is that it is an art to inspire and provoke and encourage, not necessarily such people follow their own words in their own life.

		<description><![CDATA[Nicely said, Tan, but it’s good that he shares his new understanding and he is being authentic.

He, like the rest of us, is attempting to describe and live with his discovery. As I’m sure you know, we all have to live as totally as we can through our ignorance to find out what is real.]]></description>

They always say things like: “Then I realised I was not this body, this mind, I was much better, etc...” even in a &#039;realisation&#039; the comparison is there.

Does he want to take as many people as possible?  Not me, I can assure you.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We are living in the times of youtube. One can broadcast great thoughts just through mobile. Once the thought reaches few people one can start attracting real gathering. 

Just imagine someone talks or sings convincingly and uploads videos on youtube with the theme, &quot;Drop your unis. They create slave mind. Drop your 9-5 job, you are not just a machine but divine soul. This ambitious competitive world won´t survive longer, we are going to create better world. Just imagine, we are all one. We have one kitchen, one bank account. We all work for Love. Love is the only value which matters. Love is the rose, Love is the sky. Love is above husband, wife, kids and a dog. Come, my friends, come. Let us imagine together a New world, New Humanity.&quot; 

Dear readers, ask yourself: Will you trust a person who speaks like this? Would you like young people in your family to drop their universities and jobs and follow this great youtube visionary? 

That is why I say one should be rooted solidly in the corrupt world to enjoy the poetry of great orators and singers. 

These people who talk about no ambition are very ambitious about their words. These people who think world will come to an end soon, plan very carefully how their legacy will continue after their death!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&quot;To possess a whole country is the effort of the politicians. To possess another being is the effort, on a small scale, of being political, to dominate, to dictate, to control, to manipulate; your ego is enhanced. You start killing.&quot;

Osho, &#039;Tao: The Three Treasures&#039;, Vol 4, Ch 4

I have felt these nights, looking for some ´hot chilli´ spices (offered by Oshonews every now and then found like this quote from September last year) to add to this UK website´s ´cooking&#039; of a viral topic-thread soup and its facilitators/editors/ adminstrators/ contributors.

I´d say, either you´ve had - and got by grace, I´d say - some glimpses of an ´Empty Chair&#039; in Osho´s Lifetime in the body  - or that may not have happened by now. 

By grace, it happened to me - and happened as the most sober existential experience of how that feels (and even the word ´feeling´ is not appropriate though) - how that is if I am NOT and everything IS.

More REAL and peaceful than anything before - and mostly also after (!) that timeless moment in time and - by grace - unforgettable.

Mind didn´t and doesn´t let me off the hook so easily though. And I´m not mastering that kind of mind yet, but on my way and learned that any fighting it reinforces what I´m up to getting rid of.

Madhu

P.S:
Maybe the Inner Circle did remove the chair to avoid some esoteric mambo-jumbo, but who knows ? I´m not concerned nor able to figure that one out....]]></description>
